STRATEGY SAMPLE - POLARIS

HIGH FREQUENCY EVENT BUS SYSTEM (HIFEBS)

DESCRIPTION

The traditional client-server topologies are proving to be increasingly deficient when it comes to the need for development and geographic availability in financial applications. Altratech Sàrl is devising a technological solution capable of distributing, worldwide, the calculation resources necessary for non-breaking, unlimited algorithmic logic positioned near critical financial centres. This innovation is based on an extendable and totally interconnected event-driven data bus system. The technological structure of HIFEBS means it offers unrivalled modularity, and enables targeted software modification and development. As such, any development can be reused and assigned to other concepts. Nothing is lost, and everything is transformed.

CORE

TOPOLOGY

HIFEBS is based on the notion of decentralising resources, and communicates thanks to its event bus, unlike classic star IT systems which prove deficient in terms of performance and flexibility. HIFEBS’ performance and flexibility are thus essentially based on programming completely independent and indefinitely reusable modules. In this respect, HIFEBS constitutes the ideal toolbox for an ever-developing world.

SCALE

HIFEBS is event driven and non blocking. This means your app can handle a lot of concurrency using a small number of kernel threads. HIFEBS lets your app scale with minimal hardware.

POLYGLOT

You can use HIFEBS with multiple languages including Java, JavaScript, Groovy, Ruby, and Ceylon

INDEFINITE MODULE REUSE

A HIFEBS module is a totally independent software system capable of communicating through the event bus. As such, it may be reused indefinitely and simultaneously, whether for obtaining prices on different data sources, or employing a financial strategy on multiple instruments.

ASYNCHRONOUS

HIFEBS is completely asynchronous. Asynchronous information processing means no processor waiting time. All processor resources are thus used to their highest potential and at maximum speed.

CALCULATION OF MULTIPLE STARTEGIC APPROACHES

Diversified financial strategies are a key element of success. HIFEBS enables strategies to be compared and utilised, based on predefined market situations.

DECENTRALIZED CALCULATION RESSOURCES OR HIFEBS OMNIPRESENCE

HIFEBS enables omnipresent placement of resources for orders to be executed simultaneously by different financial partners, for example. Execution speed is a key factor for ensuring a strategy performs optimally. In the competitive field, HIFEBS gives you priority access to the market’s liquid assets while drastically reducing latency.

DATA ACCESS

INTERCONNECTED DATA FLOWS

HIFEBS enables all data flows, from different sources, to be interconnected in real time. This function is particularly suitable for the arbitrage system, analysing market depth, or comparing prices for strategic and statistical purposes.

INTEGRATION OF VARIOUS DATABASE

Using specialised modules, HIFEBS is able to connect to a vast number of existing databases, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL or via JDBC.

FIX ENGINE

The FIX (Financial Information exchange) protocol is a standard of communication between various players likely to exchange pricing information and execute orders on the stock market. Our FIX Engine ALTRAFIX is fast, stable and highly specialised

MONITORING

WEB INTERFACE IN REAL TIME

HIFEBS also integrates web servers to deploy monitoring and user interfaces. A theoretically unlimited number of web servers can be integrated into the event bus, enabling the structure and integration of intranet and internet sites to be simplified.

ALTRAFIX - THE FIX ENGINE

DESCRIPTION

The FIX (Financial Information exchange) protocol is a standard of communication between various players likely to exchange pricing information and execute orders on the stock market. Our FIX Engine is fast, stable and highly specialised.
FIX messages need to be encoded and decoded extremely quickly to secure you liquid assets when your orders are sent. First come, first served. In order to go above and beyond the software currently available on the market, we use asynchronous programming and task separation. Our FIX Engine consists of different modules optimised to each specific need. For example, quoting weights and sending orders. As an indication, we are able to encode and decode more than 300 messages per millisecond under different versions of the protocol. Several major brokers and banks have so far certified us to use our FIX Engine.
